Product: Compaq 6830s
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

I am getting a message on boot up that my CMOS battery charge level is low so I want to change it.  The computer works well except for that.   I have no idea where on the board it is located or how to access it.  Windows 8.1 installed with no issues.

The following manual shows you how to replace it (from page 66):
